This is definitely the hardest part of the cooking process...
Peeling the skins off the apples...

First, start by washing all of the apples in cold water.

Then, grab your fruit peeler, and start peeling from one side until you've gone all the way around the apple.

Now that you have finished peeling the apples, get the apple slicer and place it in the middle of the apple, as in picture 5.

Next, with a little aggressive force push down with two hands to slice the entire apple, as in picture 6.

Finally, place your sliced apples in the pyrex dish, picture 7.

Step 3: Mixing
  
After you have finished the last step, it's time to mix all of your remaining ingredients into your bowl.

Remember to mix these ingredients:
  • 2/3 cup of packed brown sugar
  • 2/3 cup of oats (whole or regular)
  • 1/2 cup of bisquick mix
  • 3 tablespoons of soft butter
  • 3/4 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoons of nutmeg
  • To soften my butter, I put it in the microwave for about 12 seconds.
TIP:  Use your wooden spoon to mix ingredients quicker. 
Step 4: The Final Stretch...
    
Next, you will need to pour the contents of your mixing bowl onto the apples, see picture 1.

Then, place the pirex dish into the microwave for about 8-9 minutes.

After, the pie is done, take it out of the microwave and let it cool off for about two minutes, see picture 2.

Then, it's ready to serve...

I normally serve in a small bowl with ice cream. (see picture 3)
Step 5: Extra Step, Bisquick Alternative..
This is a step for people you can't get their hands on bisquick.

To make your own bisquick, mix the following ingredients until crumbly:
  • 2 3/4 cups sifted flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
  • This makes 3 cups...
